Consumer Description

WHEN GETTING CAR SAFETY INSPECTED MECHANIC FOUND REAR COIL SPRINGS BROKEN. RESEARCH ON INTERNET FOUND RECALL FOR FRONT SPRINGS BUT NOR REAR. THEY ARE THE SAME TYPE OF SPRINGS AS THE FRONT SO WHY WOULD THEY NOT BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL!!!!! MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE ALSO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE REAR SPRINGS ALSO. I'M JUST GLAD THE FAILURE DID NOT RESULT IN A CRASH OR ANYONE BEING INJURED. FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD INCLUDE THE REAR SPRINGS IN THE RECALL ALSO.
